Jolene's Recipe Journal

The farms are bursting with zucchini and summer squash right now.   Usually I'm in with both feet, making zucchini breads and muffins, some to eat, some to freeze, but the heat and humidity have reached ridiculous numbers again at the moment.    I found myself with 2 nice zucchini, an ingredient challenge and a pin for these waffles sent to me by my friend Sue.

While looking at recipes for the cherry challenge, I ran across this Cashew Crusted French Toast with Cherry compote.  Both of my guys are allergic to tree nuts, so I knew this would have to be a meal for a night when I was on my own.   Tonight was that night.

We love fresh cherries.   The guys will eat them by the handfuls, after I pit them, of course.   But both claim not to like cooked cherries in anything.    Nasty hot here today, so I went looking for a recipe that was easy to put together, and looked worth running the oven for.    These blondies from Sassy Southern Mommy had great potential.

So hot and humid here in New Hampshire! This week's ingredient for the Cook's Corner Challenge is marshmallows.    I'd bought some for S'mores, but no one wants to sit by the fire.   I went looking through my marked recipes for something to try and came across this Chocolate Mousse Pie.

Hot here today!   Husband had the main meal covered with some grilled steak tips, but the side dish was up to me.   I had some corn on the cob, but didn't want to heat up the house boiling it up.   My friend Sue mentioned doing corn in the crockpot earlier in the week, so I gave it a go.
